I experienced one breakfast and one lunch here just so I can write about it but to be honest their are much better options on the ship.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re in a hurry and looking to grab something quick it&#8217;s certainly OK food, but why choose OK when you can have great.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a

cruise so I can&#8217;t say much about it, however it&#8217;s another option especially if you plan on spending the day in the Solarium, which is the adults only pool area of the ship.<\/p>\n<p>Deck 8 is home to Central Park.\u00a0 This is a truly unique space found only on the Oasis class ships.\u00a0 It boasts live plants and is open to the sky, which is much more impressive than it sounds.\u00a0 This area is home to many of the specialty restaurants that are available at an extra charge, all of\u00a0which I will blog about later.\u00a0 It also is home to our favorite free food location on the ship &#8211; The Park Cafe.\u00a0 In the morning The Park Cafe is open for breakfast and offers build-your-own-bagels, breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n<p><a
